Replying to: sharpedgeshurt (Aug 09, 2007 8:02 am) What's the word on the new diesel engine? Is it coming in 08? I love my Rabbit...wish I didn't have to fill it up so often. Sometimes I think it would be just nice to have a bigger gas tank so I would have the illusion of getting better mpg! I'm lucky to get 300 on a tank running around the city, including some freeway. But, our gas has 10% Ethanol year round in most places, so that's partially to blame, I'm sure.

Replying to: sharpedgeshurt (Aug 09, 2007 10:27 am) even though 20/29 is only 1mpg better on both counts. hardly anything to get excited about.

Replying to: denverdavo (Aug 10, 2007 5:49 am) as far as the epa goes, all the cars are getting re-vamped, and the 08's will display this. the thing is, in 2008, you won't be able to see what a 2007 sticker would have looked like unless you visit the fuel economy.gov website. on that website 06-07 rabbits went from 22/30 to 19-28. BUT, on the 08 rabbits with the revised engine, this number is 20/29. So if we could have gotten this engine in our bunnies this year or back in 06, the sticker would have read something like 23/31. |

It keeps popping up in owners' reviews of the Rabbit that the speedometer reads some 10% fast [77mph indicated is actually 70mph]  . Now, VW offers wheel sizes of 15", 16" and 17" for the car. Would choosing one particular size over another help bring speedo readings into line

Does the A/C work well enough especially when driving in slow city traffic?

According to an article regarding VW's product plans, in the December issue of one of the popular auto magazines (sorry, can't recall if it was Automobile or Car & Driver), VW will not introduce the next generation Golf/Rabbit in the U.S. market. In other words, there will be no successor to the current Rabbit. If there's a Golf dirivative, it will be in be only in the form of a high performance V6, or maybe a turbo 4, but it'll be a performance car, and priced accordingly, and not a successor to the current Rabbit. That's disappointing, but let's see what else will be in the VW lineup. The same aticle said the next Jetta will be larger and feature better styling than the current one. The article ahd comments on other VW models, smaller and larger than the current Rabbit. |
